Learn more about the mini-break that mixes Disney with Pride

Sponsored: Magical Pride is the event that mixes the magic of Disney and the celebrations of Pride.

A mini-break at Disneyland Paris targeted to LGBTI people and families headed by same-sex couples. Organized by Greatdays Holidays and Manchester Pride, the event is now in its fourth year. Including Disney hotel accommodation, park tickets and exclusive parties, the weekend allows LGBTI Disney fans to get together and celebrate in one of the happiest places in the world.

This year’s Magical Pride will take place at Disneyland Paris on 19 – 22 October during the park’s 25th anniversary.

For the first time, Disney will host an all new exclusive LGBTI party on 20 October.

What is included in a Magical Pride package?

Arriving at Planet Hollywood on Thursday, you meet the rest of the Magical Pride celebrators for a three-course welcome meal and a drink on arrival. And don’t forget to bring your Disney knowledge as there will be quizzes taking place during the dinner.

Want to continue dancing and partying the night away? Billy Bob’s Country Western Saloon is there to serve up ice cold beers and a yee-ha good time.

On Friday, you have access to an inclusive two-day Disneyland Paris Hopper ticket which allows plenty of time to enjoy the fun to be had.

In the evening, the exclusive LGBTI private party begins. You’ll have access to the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, Rock N Roller Coaster starring Aerosmith, and Crush’s Coaster. There will also be entertainment, Disney characters will join the party, a cash bar, and a DJ to help you dance the night away.

Saturday, after resting your head, you’ll have another day to enjoy the parks. In the evening, you can go to the VIP Viewing Area to watch the Disney Illuminations firework spectacle (limited number entries left!). And after that, there will be a private karaoke party hosted at Planet Hollywood.

Mark Fletcher, Chief Executive of Manchester Pride, said: ‘Magical Pride is such a unique experience that we are delighted to partner with Greatdays to deliver. I saw this for myself when I attended last year and can testify that it is four days packed with fun and Disney magic that anyone would love.

‘What’s more for such an iconic organization as Disney to hold their own LGBT Pride party is wonderful to see. It will be an honor for our guests to join with other LGBT Disney fans from across Europe to celebrate together in such a special location.’
